Kevin Young is still making headlines in San Diego.
The 6-foot-8 forward, who originally signed a grant-in aid with San Diego State eight months ago, reconsidered and committed to Kansas University on Friday.
Evidently, people close to SDSU are still fuming.
On Tuesday, the San Diego Union-Tribune posted another story about Young, this time disputing KU coach Bill Self’s assertion that Young decommitted from SDSU before taking a campus visit to KU.
The story is definitely interesting. Here’s part of what the Union-Tribune’s Mark Zeigler wrote:
*Two sources close to the situation, speaking on the condition on anonymity, say it went like this:*
*The SDSU coaches got wind about Young’s trip to Kansas the week before and phoned him to confront him about it. And even then, the sources said, Young never formally decommitted from SDSU before taking the trip — wanting to keep his options open.*
Zeigler also makes mention of Young’s AAU coach, Elvert “Kool-Aid” Perry, saying he “is believed to have been influential in the decision behind the switch.”
Don’t think we’ll ever know exactly what happened with Young’s recruitment, but so far, that hasn’t stopped both schools from trying to convince others that their version of the story is correct.
